Anyway, getting back to the topic of this thread ...
I certainly do not give permission for any material from the main Tube Challenge website to be used on a Wikipedia page without being asked first. Simply lifting the text from here is hardly original is it?
I mean, how often do you use the word "ostensibly" in your day-to-day conversations? Not much I bet.
The overall layout of the page is also very bland. A few pieces of the text need links or citations, and the spelling and grammar needs seeing to.
It would have been a better idea if, instead of simply knocking up this half-arsed attempt, you'd suggested it on here first, so we could all have chipped in to make it a good page. Wikipedia rarely works when one person tries to do everything themselves (see wave-form).
The idea of turning the main content of this site into a Wiki was suggested to me before by a member of this forum but it didn't go anywhere at the time.
I would suggest you delete the whole thing and have a rethink, ideally involving all of us so we can come up with something more professional-looking.

I would also point out that Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written from a neutral point of view.
Copying in a piece of text which says that Robert Robinson "will go down in history as a Tube Challenge legend" is hardly unbiased.

I have a maths exam in four hours and I dont want to have to put up with you aswell! I dont know what it is with you. You just cause trouble for me.
Edit from Tubeguru: please keep this sort of thing out of the forum - it's childish. Use PMs. Thanks.

Getting back on topic, I feel that it would nevertheless be quite a nice idea to have something about Tube challenging on Wikipedia. I imagine that there might be a few people who search for that sort of thing on there.
But yes, we'd need to be quite careful in constructing the page. It would be nice to make it a joint effort between us.

Ummm I dont know. It is C1 but not by Edexcel. The exam body is the Welsh Joint Education commitee. And i needed luck. The paper was hard! My maths teacher joked that A-Level means Ard-Level (Hard Level) and AS means Ard Stuff! I think I probably failed LOL along with half the class!
Anyway there's still June...
I got my physics exam on Friday. I'm confident with that! I love physics! It's easy! (For physics, my maths teacher should rename A-Level to E-Level (Easy-Level ))
